Oyster Gardens in North Carolina.

The oyster reservations are fenced in like
gardens with rails nailed to posts, but our
correspondent thinks the system oh Objectionable
because it creates distractions to navigation
and affords no real protection to the planter
from the depredations Of oyster thieves The
public sentiment in North Carolina, unlike
the feeling in some portions of Maryland, is
SO strongly in favor Of planting that it is
thought there will be little, il any, difficulty
in securing general recognition Of individual
property rights in oyster lots and in enforc
ing the law for their protection. Baltimore

Hanging Baskets.

The starting of hanging baskets OF zines
and flowers for piazzas and windows is now
in order. There are many beautiful fancy
baskets and vases provided, but the old
fashioned half round wire basket, lined with
moss, the green side out, is as attractive rs
any This same moss, from the woods, is
very valuable for covering the surface of the
basket after it is filed with plants; it Is also
useful in the same way for out door vases.
The moss acts as a mulch and prevents the
rapid drying of the soil that would otherwise
take place.

Edward Everett Hale says: "Never go TO

sleep Is the essential force which starts the
whole system decline tea or coffee within the
last six hours Of going TO bed. Avoid all

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Manners and Customs Practiced II
p.,lifo Snciot,

Manners and Customs Practiced In
Polite Society.
When a wedding takes place at home, the
space where the bridal party is to stand is
usually marked off by ribbon In some
districts remote from social centers it is a
prevailing fashion for the bridal pair to face
the company. This, however pleasant for
the company, is not in accordance with con.
ventonal etiquette. The proper arrangement
is just the same as if the party were in a
church. The clergyman comes down before
the bridal pair; they face him and he faces
the company. When the marriage ceremony
is concluded the clergyman retres, the party
turn in their places and face their friends,
who wait to congratulate, the nearest and
dearest first, in the order of their kinship.

Cheap but Effective window Curtains

Cheap but Effective window Curtains
Swiss curtains trimmed with fluted rufile
of the same are dainty and appropriate for
country house. A pretty way to arrange
them is to let them almost cross at the top OF
the window and loop them back with very
large bows of white satin ribbon OF pink,
blue, scarlet or color to match decoration IN
the room.
Alternate stripes of cheese cloth and turkey
red trimmed round with antique lace furnish
effective and quite inexpensive window dra-
peries.
For something very simple, unbeached
muslin of pretty creamy tint can be made up
in various tasteful ways and will help to give
a finished, attractive aspect to u room.

mended as desirable for cleaning and polish
ing old furniture: Over moderate fire put
a perfectly clean vessel. Into this drop two
ounces of white or yellow wax When melted,
add four ounces pure turpentine; then stir
until COOL when it is ready for use. The
mixture brings out the original color Of the

nish. BY rubbing with piece OF fine cork,
it may, when it fades, be removed.

Plants I'm Sleeping Rooms.

That plants in living or sleeping rooms are
not in any way injurious unless their number
is so great as to keep the air of the apartment
damp, is the opinion of The Popular Science
News They decompose carbonic acid gas
into carbon compounds and oxygen, and thus
tend to purify the air They may also be
of indirect benefit by leading occupants to
keep the air free from coal gas and other i'm.
purities in which plants will not flourish.

In making good disinfectant the prefer
ence is given by DIR. w. Domett Stone to
chlorine. This may be evolved by mixing in
a bottle two tablespoonfuls of red lead, two
of common salt and half a wineglassful of
strong oil of vitriol in quart of water. The
bottle should be kept cool and tightly corked
and in dark place A little of this fluid ex.

soaked in sheets of old linen and hung about

Etiquette is curious and arbitrary thing
and differs in every country. An American
gentleman does not smoke when driving with
his wife in the park, but an English gentle
tnan does, and it is not considered bad man

entering railway carriage, if ladies are in

In not few people the finger nails split and

oleate spread on flannel bandages. In two
months all the nails became sound and tough.

AN ideal LOVER.

So You don't think she's pretty! I'm sorry;
L thought you'd find beauty there,
Ii only for my sake Eyes protrudIng?
And you don't like the shade of her hair?
Face pale and nose not patrician;
But you own that her voice is sweet
AS s1lver-toned bells. or as water
Hlppltng over, the river to meet.
Her hands not thy and soft,
And her feet quite the usual size;
But perhaps she can bring me some money
When her uncle, the rich broker, dies.
Not rentl And now for the other

But first let me tell you I'd love her
Were she hideous and crippled and
manned.
Her eyes are too large and protrud ding,
You say suppose you're Judge;
But goodness and love fingers in tnem,
And as to the coiOr-On, fudge!
What does it mater? Still
See no fault in them yet;
Common brown hair SUIT it's fluffy
And won't come out straight when it wet.
Her face is pale, ike the lilv,
Which is lovelier far tn n the rose
Purer aud sweeter, more modest,
And now we have come to her nose,
Yes. it is Inclined to turn upward,
But you cannot denv that it's cute"
Who likes those correct faultless beauties?
Ali You know that they seldom will suit
Her hands are not small, white and useless.
And with the work they have done In
their lifetime,
Though sharply, aud quite small enough
DO you wonder they're a little bit roughT
Her foot is no larger. no smaller
Than common sized girl foot should be-;
An ss to money-why should want It
When she is the whole world to me?

An angel to love man must fall;
No, she's on dear little woman
Whom loYe-who loves me, that is all.

Come where the woodbine twineth,

The father of Junigee lay on his am
brosial coach, with the soft summer air
playing with his few and nov -and-then
brown locks. At the same time the
festive hay fever was accustoming
itself 10 his oltactory organs. He
awoke from his stentorious fever sleep,
and burning with thirst emptied theswill
bucket. All" said he, Fisher beers
the fluid for my parchedi anatomy"
Again he sought his couch, but the
chloride of lime that had been in the
bucket and which he had Inadvertently
taken, began to disinfect his stomach.
Again and again he drained the bucket,
but with the same melancholy result
his knell had rung-his soul would soon
be in that shadowy land where all the
wicked go. For the honored dad of
Junigee had been a hard nut-and his
soul goes forth like steam. Junigee's
papa was dead.

slowly advanced to the side of his be-
